Using the Playbook for Google Analytics

Web site administration

The playbook proved to be impracticable for the purposes of running Google Analytics.  This was mainly due to the deficiencies in the Browser navigation and the smallness of the screen. These two features made navigation around the Analytics screen pretty laborious.

It was very difficult to use the date selection device in Analytics as the date numbers were too small and when the screen was expanded the AJAX element would close before a date could be selected, the screen then needed to be zoomed out so that the date selection element could be opened again. Also the selection of the menu options, such as "Pages" from the "Content" section were also "hit and miss" (to be fair the same was found with the Asus Prime - the iPad was not usable due to the lack of Flash)
